    I really wanted Benson in the draft but that fumble play yesterday really bugged me. You could see that Kyler wasn't sure Benson knew the play and he literally told him the play I mean short of whipping out a white board and drawing it up, I don't know what else Kyler could have done. And he...

    No idea how good the Warriors will be but it's going to be one of my favorite rosters in awhile. aside from Curry they will again have GP2 a personal favorite. 2 UCLA guys in Looney and added Kyle anderson. And they added DeAnthony Melton who I've always liked. As always the key will be can...

    He's been playing at the UCLA open runs for a bit now and everyone says he looks good. But you wonder for how long, guy just can't stay healthy

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    The only real doubt I had personality wise is just a pet peeve of mine, the whole wearing sunglasses indoors thing. That's always been a weird thing IMO but certainly not something that says don't draft the kid. And I don't think that has anything to do with his issues, by all accounts he IS...

    Sure but my point was in 2021 he was in the top 10 at it, now he's 30th. I don't think Kyler has regressed that badly, I just think we had guys who got open quickly in 2021. I keep saying it I think the short drops are because they don't think we can pass protect but it puts Kyler closer to the...

    OT: other games 10-13-24

    Watching Higgins snag 2 balls off line and get YAC and then I see our guys and I'm jealous. Just in our game watching their Wr's turn screens into good gains the whole game.

    That's a good get he was apparently blowing up. Speaking of NIL, there's several stories out now saying AJ Dybantsa has an NIL offer that may come out to as much as NINE million!

    Stat I just read. Murray entered todays game the top rated passer on throws that were over 2.5 seconds from the snap and 30th in throws under 2.5 seconds from the snap. In 2021 he was 9th in throws under 2021, so what's the problem? Wr's can't get open fast enough for a quick hitting short drop...

    Isaiah Simmons couldn't catch him. To be fair wasn't Simmons fault he was not on the side where Burrow broke free

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    St Brown is VERY quick, Marv isn't, at least not yet. Go back to the first target the ball that was incomplete. It was 3rd and 9, not really a ton of pressure and Marv ran about 3-4 yard route turned around and stopped. The DB was playing to take away the sideline so Kyler threw the ball...

    Damn I could have had Allgier this morning but I had picked up D Pierce in case Mixon couldn't play(again). Mixon played and did great, but I wound up only having Mixon and Conner at RB, Allgier went over 100 with a TD.

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    I'm not saying it's good I'm just saying it's apparently the design of the position in our offense. Mina Kimes also hinted that coaches told her as Marv got better at more routes, he would get a bigger route tree and that would help. I'm definitely open to some changes in the offense. I just...

    Yeah at this point I'm in agreement. Pretty obvious Benson isn't ready to play, if you don't know the plays it's a huge problem. I mentioned it in the game thread, during the 51-45 game we had Beanie Wells and Hightower, the announcers were commenting on how as the season went on, Wells took...

    one thing I guess, Weaver showed something today. He was open on the one Kyler missed and there was an earlier play a screen play where had Kyler had time to look Weaver actually broke open in the left corner for a TD. But we not only didn't have time to throw that route, we didn't even have...

    Post Packers Overreaction Thread 2024

    True but if you watch Kyler had 2 rookies on the field I think Benson and Weaver and he was trying to get them set, and lost track of the clock. on him but it's a function of the young guys not knowing where to line up yet

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    They want to play 2 and 3 TE's and control the ball is my take. I assume that's because they see the WR room and think they HAVE to play that way

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    Maybe I'm just explaining what the Cards own coaches and players, Michael Wilson in particular, said about the X receiver spot. The design of it in this offense means more 1 on 1 plays and more 50/50 balls. Wilson said it was a big adjustment for him to have to play it as a rookie when Hollywood...

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    So if you read the article on the Cards site during the week that was semi explained. The X receiver in our offense gets more of those plays and HAS to win, win at the LOS when 1 on 1, win the balls in the air. They also mentioned during the week they work with Marv on routes, especially it said...

    I don't think we have the WR's. The year I'm talking about we had Larry and Anquan and Breaston and even Jerheme Urban. Marv would be the 3rd Wr on that team. The plan was play 2 and 3 TE sets, run the ball. Problem is when you fall behind it's hard to play that way. Maybe I'm wrong but...

    Yeah I'm a Benson fan, loved him in college, but that fumble play lost it for me for now. I think it's clear now why he's not playing more because he doesn't have the plays down yet so they don't trust him. Kyler was moving him several times during the game.

    Post Packers Overreaction Thread 2024

    I think part of the idea was go back to the year we drafted Beanie Wells, the goal was get him ready behind Hightower and then he takes over more work 2nd half of season. I suspect that was the original plan with Benson but we saw today he had the one really nice run but had a couple where he...

    AS someone said in the game thread we were terrible and we lost a ton of guys to injury. Just brutal. Also crazy that we have 2 rookies taken in the first 3 rounds that can't figure out what route to run or when they're going to get a handoff. I hope Marv is ok but he was awful today, running...

    Cardinals at Packers gameday thread 10-13-24

    That was the whole issue today and when we did get pressure it's because it was a screen and they let us come in. Offense was bad but the defense my goodness, they did anything they wanted

    Cardinals at Packers gameday thread 10-13-24

    Yeah really bad. He had a nice run earlier but you could tell that whole play he wasn't sure where to line up and Kyler was trying to talk him through it. I guess we know why he's not playing more
